DL98 - Check EVR Solenoids For Shorts



An EGR Vacuum Regulator (EVR) solenoid or EVR driver circuit short could cause the EVR to open supplying the EGR valve with vacuum.

- Key "OFF".

- Disconnect vacuum hose at EGR valve and connect hose to a vacuum gauge.

- Run engine to operating temperature and stabilized idle.

- With the engine at idle, tap the EVR solenoid and wiggle the EVR connector while noting vacuum reading.

- Does the EGR vacuum remain below 3.4 kPa (1.0 in Hg) with no sudden increase?

NOTE: EVR leakage below 3.4 kPa (1.0 in Hg) is normal.

Yes -- Leave vacuum gauge connected. Go to DL99. DL99 - Check EVR Harness Circuit For Intermittents

No -- Inspect EVR solenoid connector for shorts. Service as necessary. If OK, service or replace EVR solenoid. Reconnect all components. Clear continuous memory. Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
